UNL thinks about location differently to solve some of the biggest hyperlocal challenges that traditional mapping hasn’t been able to do so far, starting with addressing, geocoding, dynamic routing and self-healing maps. For this, UNL pixelized the world in a 3D smart grid to digitize physical locations and create an infrastructure to interact with them via unique, verifiable digital addresses – UNL geoIDs. On the ground, indoors or up in elevation, UNL geoIDs can address locations with a micro-precision of up to 1x1cm². With the do-it-yourself UNL Platform, businesses can create their own Virtual Private Maps and build scalable solutions with location intelligence at a hyperlocal scale by tapping into the UNL suite of plug-and-play mapping, geocoding, search, routing and data management APIs, SDKs, and plug-ins.
